is-station

[severe oasis]

i know what happened next. you deployed yato to block that slug, and she also solo'd pompeii

[foggy oriole]

what the fuck are you even supposed to do against bad unworkable sui hours

[earnest shuttle]

no i just let things fall apart

[faint rampart]

survivors contract yato with sa slash

[earnest shuttle]

[sly harness]

Such hours don't exist

[faint rampart]

🤤

[sly harness]

Maybe Wu-Shang, but then you just cry

[foggy oriole]

I just got spec sup guard talisman sui hour which led me to being able to do NONE of the turmoil stages

[sly harness]

Looks kinda good, 62 enemies in, not being able to Shield stack killed you ig

[foggy oriole]

by none I really do mean none

[sly harness]

Who had contract

[earnest shuttle]

uhh lemme check video

[foggy oriole]

raidian and exu alter had candles going into f2

[earnest shuttle]

tragodia

[sly harness]

It isn't that bad

[foggy oriole]

and up until the end of f3 I couldn't clear a single turmoil

[earnest shuttle]

I didnt think pompeii would reach exu that easily

[sly harness]

Like in some of them you can redeploy your unit in time to get it without a Talisman

[foggy oriole]

none of them allowed it

[sly harness]

Which one did you get

[foggy oriole]

I got strange tales

which the gundam just walks through

and the dp variant of ware user

which freezes my dp solid to 0

and the one with forsaken in the middle

all 3 of which WOULD BE TRIVIAL if I didn't get sui hour

[severe oasis]

yeah the range is quite stupid, you had really one option

[sly harness]

For the forsaken one you can bring Raidian S1 and wait for enough DP to place Exu + Raidian + summon, summon will tank when Exu/Raidian breakers the talisman

[earnest shuttle]

maybe haruka can outheal pompeii

[foggy oriole]

are you sure the trash mobs in the bottom lane won't just walk through

or is raidian s1 enough

[sly harness]

Should be copable

[severe oasis]

maybe? idk tbh

[foggy oriole]

I literally do not see how any sui hour could be worse than this shit

[faint rampart]

survivors contract haruka :binoculars;

[severe oasis]

i have a feeling its not worth drafting haruka tho

[foggy oriole]

everything else you can kinda outscale

the talisman one cucks your scaling by breaking your damn kneecaps of your only carry ops

[sly harness]

Another play would be delaying Bosky for f4 and drafting more stuff maybe getting something helpful, with Exu + Raidian most of the en route should be solved relicless

[foggy oriole]

wouldn't that mean no vertical movement in f2 and f3 from being coupon poor

which then just translates into can't scale, mogged by yi

[sly harness]

You would get your power spike after f4

And Yi is solvable easily with little to none relics

Even Sui doesn't need much scaling

[remote badger]

trag s2 all over again

[sly harness]

d15 stats if you draft meta ops aren't insanely high

[foggy oriole]

well ok yi not needing scale I can imagine

but how does sui not need scale

[sly harness]

Exu barrier survives the stomps at base HP

And with like +50% damage she should mostly solo kill the boss

The task is even simpler in ed2a where you just abuse the kill gete and don't need to worry about other enemies while killing the boss

[foggy oriole]

I haven't even attempted 2b

[sly harness]

Now when I think about it, it probably killed you, without it he should one shot slugs that killed Exu

[foggy oriole]

2a d15 is already driving me insane

even with the killgate

[severe oasis]

fyi 2a is the alternate map, the normal version is just 2

[sly harness]

Yes

[foggy oriole]

oh I thought b meaning the alter

doesn't 2 have killgate as well

[sly harness]

a is from alter/alternative

[severe oasis]

nope

[foggy oriole]

you just stall a mob

[sly harness]

Nothing that you can abuse hard

Nope it has some kill gates but they have a time limit of 60 seconds

[severe oasis]

yeah i dont rly count that

[sly harness]

And in normal ed2 you would rather solve normal mobs fast

[severe oasis]

as a kill "gate"

more just a wave cd

[sly harness]

I mean if you kill everything fast next wave will appear faster

[foggy oriole]

ngl if I get the talisman hour on f2 on all the core ops I literally will just reset

metastatic style

[severe oasis]

yeah i mean atp im just arguing semantics but it doesnt rly matter either way

personally for ed2

i ignore the boss until the other enemies are all dead

and then just nuke it

[sly harness]

Also if you are running Exu fishing for SP on deployment can solve it because if you activate her skill she won't get a Talisman

[severe oasis]

well i get it to like 60% just incase

[foggy oriole]

wait what?

[sly harness]

Them SA alter S2 slashes counter the Talismans

[foggy oriole]

I thought it seals immediately

[sly harness]

You can also put higher priority on Hoshi alter sice she will never be affected by it

[sly harness]

Nah you have some time to use skills

[foggy oriole]

it doesn't involve pause buffer bullshit right

[sly harness]

This hour spawns Talisman on the position of your ops and they still need to stick to them first

[sly harness]

Even without it it takes like half a second

For example Wisadle will be resistant to it because while she has camo they won't stick to her

[earnest shuttle]

wait but the contract made him stronger
or do u mean it should have been on someone else ?

[foggy oriole]

I really thought I'd come to like is6 if I play it more but right now I feel like the more I play the more angry and more I hate it as a mode

[sly harness]

With it his cat dealt more damage, he was about to one shot slugs easily, kinda nice but if he weren't able to do that your Exu2 would survive for her skill to be up

[earnest shuttle]

oh nvm I get it now, slug died early so exu cant use skill

yeah

[foggy oriole]

I'm having less fun than grinding d15 senti without wisadel

[sly harness]

Or just leaving Conffes on a field should work too

Because the slug wouldn't die during sleep

[foggy oriole]

sui hours having so little counterplays, boss mechanics being some of the most obtuse I've ever seen
bosky layout rng, coin flip rng

[severe oasis]

just go back to is4

[earnest shuttle]

[severe oasis]

its peak

[foggy oriole]

this is kinda also why I enjoy d18 in is3 more than d15

[faint rampart]

so much rng

🥀

[earnest shuttle]

real

[foggy oriole]

because d18 you can actually remove the debuffs

[sly harness]

~~ Just use~~ ~~to point at your nick ~~

[sly harness]

And make them completely meaningless

[remote badger]

perfectly balanced IS

[earnest shuttle]

the mobs feels tankier than is6 because u cant highroll to beat that with relicslop

[foggy oriole]

I really do feel like is4 is the most balanced is

[sly harness]

[foggy oriole]

is2 is a close second

[sly harness]

IS4 when you cover the entire floor with Boskies

[foggy oriole]

human migrate is funny and all

[severe oasis]

just dont play IS until d18 is4 drops, it will come out trust me its going to

[foggy oriole]

but it's the counterplaying against the paradigms that's fun

we all hate baro2 but

if you see baro1 coming and didn't draft a vanguard that's on you

[sly harness]

If you see Talisman on Spec and Sups and draft Spec and Sups... Or something

[foggy oriole]

I drafted both, e2 both

[sly harness]

[foggy oriole]

before f2

and have no hope left to counterplay

my early game is bricked

[sly harness]

Yes f4 Bosky cope

Maybe even f3 can be fine

[faint rampart]

used bad class squads and coped with f4 bosky in early days, it was fine 🥹

[foggy oriole]

am I supposed to recognise before I enter f2 bosky that I couldn't possibly do them

I mean I could

statistically I probably could tell that I couldn't clear them

but we gamble for difficult beginnings trust

is it even possible to kill top statue spawn

[sly harness]

Yes

8 minutes or so long stall Raidan S2 facing back can't kill the small mice and Raidian slowly kills the thing

[foggy oriole]

let's not lmao

ok

[sly harness]

4 Ingots

[faint rampart]

pretty huge considering is6

[foggy oriole]

yeah uhhh

I agree but

I don't think it is worth 8 minutes

[sly harness]

[faint rampart]

lose your 2 hr run cuz you missed 4 ingots or just stall for mere 8 mins

~~not losing but like you get what i mean, losing potential highroll ~~

[earnest shuttle]

why do they have to place it that far, before dlc1 I could use s2 to kill that statuegeist

[rustic spade]

You dont even lose after wasting like 5 candles

But always stall regardless of that

[sly harness]

It is RNG it can spawn closer

[foggy oriole]

it can spawn there before as well iirc yeah

how many variants of the f2 pathfinder can you do with just purestream raidian windscoot

or is it stupid to do it on f2

and I should just hoard tickets to use there instead

[faint rampart]

suss wher

[remote badger]

hoard the tickets

[sly harness]

e1 Raidian can do like all but 1 variants

[remote badger]

wah

[sly harness]

But ye suss can be required in some of them

[foggy oriole]

I just got clowned on by the pepe event unicycle

[sly harness]

Not sure I haven't run into any significant trouble with Purestream but supposedly Suss is needed for some healing checks early on

[foggy oriole]

but yan though?

[sly harness]

Ye this is the one she can't do on e1

[foggy oriole]

I mean I guess I will keep in mind to consider drafting sus

but yan though!

[faint rampart]

are you gonna enter bosky that early

https://tenor.com/view/susge-sus-suspicious-susgeemote-emotesusge-gif-12862771718631627642

[sly harness]

The progressively higher amounts of arts damage one right?

Also there is a trick to it

You should start it with game paused

And wait out the "hourglass" animation

You will completely avoid the 3k arts strike at the end

[foggy oriole]

wait holy

[sly harness]

And she can survive the 2750 one

[foggy oriole]

???? how is that allowed

spaghetti coding exhibit A

[earnest shuttle]

why did u deploy then retreat raidian at the beginning of pathfinder battle ?

[sly harness]

Mod alfa minus redeployment time for summons effects stacks

[earnest shuttle]

[sly harness]

So after like 6 deployments you can spam her summons

[foggy oriole]

but uh back to my q about pathfinder fight

generally is it better to use tickets or fight here

for f2

[sly harness]

Some people save for f2 pathfinder and only on f3+ prioritize fight, other prioritize fights through the entire run

[cursive verge]

Lukas is medicmiya s1 used

[sly harness]

When I was playing with Raidian I was fighting all the time

[remote badger]

at some times

but not when killing spikes

[cursive verge]

[sly harness]

If you need healing in a long battle
Like IS5 Chaos or Qiu'lon
Or you can even use it as main but cope healing in IS6 ed3

[foggy oriole]

I feel medic amiya s1 just feels like the cycle is way too long but also lasts way longer than you need it to lmao

ah yes, half my ingots

[sly harness]

Ye but S2 is one time per battle so if you need her to actually sustain something through a battle it is even worse

[sly harness]

Roll it into Cocoon

[foggy oriole]

2nd option?

[faint rampart]

iirc risk coin toss or something

not like you have ingots

[sly harness]

Risk coin toss if you toss at least 1 you will get this coin for free

[foggy oriole]

oh

lmao

what happens if I fail

[sly harness]

Nothing

[foggy oriole]

nothing?

ok

[faint rampart]

remember kids
coin tossing is a scam

[earnest shuttle]

gamble

[faint rampart]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1252518668286427138/1460807860928909437/snaplytics_converted_gif.gif

[foggy oriole]

also wdym cocoon

[earnest shuttle]

cocoon is a tongbao that gives u 1 ingots for every 4 ingots owned when tossed

u can trade some certain tongbao to get cocoon

[cursive verge]

Does anyone hqve the tongbao conversion sheet, I dint want to pull up the calculator everhtimr I plau

[earnest shuttle]

this one ?

[sly harness]

The bible of IS6 (Plan node edition) + as short version

[foggy oriole]

oh well I guess the game doesn't want me to trade it

[sly harness]

[cursive verge]

Time to make this ny wallpaper

[red horizon]

Best run yet! IS newbie here no i don’t have lost and found or bosky unlocked yet

[earnest shuttle]

[slender folio]

alr about time i beat the big bad bear

i can just bring a lot of healers?

and outheal it?

[sly harness]

You would prefer a DPS that hits hard but not too often. His normal attacks (phys) will target only 2 last deployed

[grizzled nexus]

Can't believe Roundstone Altar can get to 7 stack...

[foggy oriole]

is there any way to tell how many candles you're going to get for a wonderland entry

[sly harness]

Remember it

[foggy oriole]

wdym remember

[sly harness]

Are values are set

[faint rampart]

3 is for f3
others are

wait f1 is also 3?

[sly harness]

Yes

+1 from the skill tree on first entry

+1 from raidian

The collectible from the shop is 3

The Coin is 3

Tianshi adds extra candles

There are encounters and collectibles that can give you candles

[foggy oriole]

I know that but which floor gives how many is what I mean

[sly harness]

f1, f3 is 3 all other is 5

[earnest shuttle]

3 but raidian gives extra 2 iirc

[sly harness]

Extra 1

1 is from skill tree

[earnest shuttle]

I see

[foggy oriole]

ah ok

[faint rampart]

📝

[desert brook]

i didnt know skill tree gave a candle either

i just go into f1 and it says 3 candles but i get 5 and im like wow free candles

[faint rampart]

started questioning the reality once when i saw 3 voucher reserve limit ||didnt recruit raidian and wasnt used to bans||🛌

[desert brook]

yeah

[alpine solar]

what's the strategy for this stage on em

do i destroy the barricades asap or what, also this is emergency

[desert brook]

life is hard when low rec voucher limit

[alpine solar]

i find i get overwhelmed by the drone guys but i also have to protect the civs at the same time

[sly harness]

Break only the boxes on the left

For the dron guy just bait the dron on spawn

Raidian S2 easily solos this stage

Wtf Yato... I had a different conversation about her just now

[vital wedge]

for is5 if i send someone scouting in a bizarre fragment do they come back at the end of the bizarre fragment or at the end of the floor?

[quick steppe]

next floor

[alpine solar]

also is this a troll pick

i cant see any case where this is useful

[rich thorn]

mango, can you explain me, why exu2 fine as fatedless, but not good for lamp?

like, yes, we nuking 2 wish nodes via hand+book

but we still can benefit from lamp

or just bruh, handmix after getting kings crown

(or be lucky with kings staff from shop)

[sly harness]

2 extra wishes is too much

[quick steppe]

nuking 2 nodes

is a LOT

💀

[sly harness]

And like the f4 shop rob isn't comfortable too

[quick steppe]

also handmixing after 2/3k is weird and tough and i guess maybe

but like

not very needed atp

[sly harness]

Troll but can be traded in Plan

[rich thorn]

🥀

[sly harness]

Like I liked the draft of Lamp Exu2 cope

I won on d15

But with 3 plan vertical it isn't playable

[quick steppe]

also just a lot of redundancy

like you would consider handmixing trag because he does everything in 2 4 and 5

but like exu just maybe 4

thats it

[rich thorn]

2 is ye

[quick steppe]

not bringing much to what is hopefully a well rounded draft

[sly harness]

You have Mizuki for ed2

ed2 is actually quite easy because Mizuki just pulls Theresis away

And stalls most/all of p1 too

[quick steppe]

but then you're playing speccast

[sly harness]

Lamp

Like if you are playing Lamp just play class squads

[rich thorn]

do it

promote erudite

🌲 🌲 🌲

[sly harness]

Fatedless

Or you can get a Lamp win streak and then write a guide for Lamp

[rich thorn]

can I get more skillfull before that

and do triple ending on d18

[quick steppe]

🌲🌲🌲

[rich thorn]

[quick steppe]

i should add more emojis
im quite fond of this "scientific thinking" squad recently

as well as people oriented

but also im literally falling asleep playing is3 and is4
it is a nice change of pace tho

[rich thorn]

meta shit emojis

[quick steppe]

i leaked 2 on an f5 level because i fell asleep mid level

and then got reminded that collapse exists

grr

back to is5

once spa is over

[rich thorn]

so good when you cant be punished for lp leaking, ye?

[devout veldt]

any other reason to go to event nodes after getting endless key in is5?

[rich thorn]

nnnope

(except if not lamp player, for that random all kings relics while 1 lp encounter)

[sly harness]

Nah

You should use this thing

Because it isn't real

[alpine solar]

i also never really understood this stage, i just block the ninjas before they can hop to the other side right

[rich thorn]

what thing

talons?

rhodes gates?

doodle?

[rich thorn]

and sometimes animal could spawn

but it feels not common for this stage

[sly harness]

Nah the crossed out text

[rich thorn]

pls dont say lamp

[sly harness]

Yes just like this, but if they guy is going to path through the enemy that is pretending to be a hole then he can be ignored (if his movements speed isn't buffed) because then he falls into the hole

[foggy oriole]

classic 5dp coin + blademace behavior

surfer costs 18dp bro

[sly harness]

+5dp coin

[foggy oriole]

istg that coin might as well be a risk coin

[sly harness]

It is an interesting tech if you have bells but never worth picking without them

[foggy oriole]

I picked them up to replace the starter risk coins

[sly harness]

Also it is in the ass (4 Ingots pool) so basically useless in Plan

[foggy oriole]

never got around to replacing them because I picked up other things that will hurt me if I don't get rid of them

namely the 6 max life coin

and the 30 ingot coin

[sly harness]

Starting risks are less impactful than this DP

[foggy oriole]

I can't believe I was complaining about mantle of the wrongly condemned back in is2

this is clearly way worse and I took it anyway

oh also

blademace in this run was forced

so I couldn't avoid that one either

this wasn't even d15

[vital wedge]

i've noticed sometimes the ninjas just fall in the pit on their own, why does that happen?

[foggy oriole]

they hop over the hiding invis enemies

so they land short of the edge

and fall in the hole

basically you don't have to camp every lane

[sly harness]

Iirc with the starting movement speed risk coin they are able to still jump through it 🥀

[foggy oriole]

mspd is such a hair pull for enemy movement and pathing

aspd too, indirectly

I will never forget the dominion aspd down relic in is4 ed4

it makes lugal desync because he attacks less and therefore moves faster

[alpine solar]

is there a tenth hour of sui

or is there supposed to be a skip between nine and 11

[foggy oriole]

it's when sui says it's 10 o'clock obviously

[sly harness]

There is 12

[alpine solar]

cause i have this which i assume is the 5th hour of sui, but I don't see a single entry for 10

[sly harness]

9 usual debuffs, 2 hidden debuffs and 2 buff

[alpine solar]

Is there some special condition to trigger these cause i havent seen it ever in d15

[sly harness]

Just super rare

[foggy oriole]

ch'en-||qianyu||

[sly harness]

Like 1 in 1000 triggers rare

[alpine solar]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-endfield-arknights-endfield-ake-chen-gif-1852193165950969361

when do we get the last expansion for is6

is it with the next set of rewards

[sly harness]

in July at the earliest i think

[alpine solar]

tyty

[foggy oriole]

is that the wang drop I don't remember

[rich thorn]

not last, just dlc2

because deep exploration exists

[severe oasis]

its before wang

but not that long before

[sly harness]

we can get it a bit late (EN style)

[rich thorn]

or earlier

if we skip reruns

[rich thorn]

it should be same time no?

[sly harness]

you didn't see the "predictions" for upcoming content

[rich thorn]

sorry, cant post datamined content here

🥀

but so far, it should be thorns2 event rerun > trials #6 > titi event

after that, we either go into yu rerun, or skip it for later and go into wang and dlc2

as it already was with lapp2 rerun was after sa2 event

[faint rampart]

hope Yu event rerun revives fib
haven't seen him :sadge:

[carmine token]

yep

[severe oasis]

on CN it was about 2 weeks before wang

but tbh we might get it with him

[carmine token]

no twink lover

[severe oasis]

i think they like dropping expansions alongside events on en

[gaunt bay]

Meow

:3

[rich thorn]

damn, stronghold ends

time for is3 or is5

[desert brook]

should i get e1 cutter for cheeto comp

[inland elbow]

No

[slate hull]

why cutter when Humus exists

[desert brook]

wait true actually

[inland elbow]

As a general rule, only operators who were already good are worth using with cheeto

So m3 and degen gain benefit because their skills were already good

But you don't use lemuen s1 or cutter just because they're offensive

[sly harness]

May is very good too

And surely Sneg will be fine

[desert brook]

i have a feeling sneg is still going to be bad

[inland elbow]

Sneg is bad when you don't have a billion aspd to make her work

[sly harness]

Sneg is passable in IS5/IS6

[inland elbow]

Cheeto doesn't make her significantly better

[gaunt bay]

Sneg?

[desert brook]

yeah

[gaunt bay]

H*ol?

[desert brook]

because in is5 you get a billion atkspd

[inland elbow]

I mean just think about it logically right

What op is getting deployed first when you start a map

Your agent

Is cheeto on the field to help fuel if the agent is going first?

[steel relic]

urochka

[gaunt bay]

Oh

[sly harness]

But Sneg can stay there when you are getting DP for Chetto and Chetto isn't expensive

And Sneg will stay there quite some time while hitting a Spine or Statuegeist

[azure dagger]

Fatal melodies just gatekept me like crazy what the hell. The boss just decitamated S2 hoshiAlt

[inland elbow]

Sneg dp gen at base is something dumb like 0.3 dp/s

Like the reason you take sneg when you start cheeto is because she's good later

Not because she's useful for opening early

[desert brook]

hoshi def is not really that high, puppet has high atk so youre pretty much always gonna need a healer

[inland elbow]

The normal opener is to just put down cheeto

Because she's cheap anyways

[azure dagger]

unlucky then, got no medic vouchers that run 😔

[inland elbow]

Putting down sneg slows down your deployment in most cases

[sly harness]

And it has like 50 RES right?

Hoshi isn't killing it

[azure dagger]

Holly shit

[sly harness]

Nevermind she should kill it on low diffs, it only has 50k HP

[desert brook]

whats its base atk

on d0

[steel relic]

900

[desert brook]

thats still really high i think

[sly harness]

Not really

[desert brook]

prretty sure it attacks relatively fast so it would still outdamage hoshi

[sly harness]

Hoshi2 has 600 DEF

[gaunt bay]

Yeah it takes ages to kill hoshi on d0

15k ehp chip away 300 at a time gl hf

[sly harness]

Also like the poison in this stage isn't that problematic you can easily leasehold with it being active with just a 3* medic

[desert brook]

this is e2 tho, surely s3 is better for puppet, but if they're using s2 then im assuming its e1

[azure dagger]

yeah it was e1 hoshi2

[sly harness]

Using her for lane holding on bottom would probably work better

He is doing nothing to the boss in this case

[desert brook]

this goes back to the problem of no medic voucher

[azure dagger]

probably, but the only other ground unit was SAlt, so I was cooked either way

[sly harness]

Salter is very tanky on E2

[desert brook]

but i think even something like spot should be enough healing?

[sly harness]

He should

Or you can cycle damage dealers

Like have Hoshi there then if she dies, place Kroos, Stewart

[grizzled nexus]

Will the bug of 'NEW' notification in IS6 Gallery even though nothing new unlocked gonna be fixed?

[desert brook]

i have that for is2 lmao

[arctic panther]

i thought that was is2 only

[grizzled nexus]

Oh, it's spreading

[desert brook]

the new virus

should i get lp or promotion voucher (probably e2 saki)? i have reforged scepter

[desert brook]

went with promotion voucher since next 2 nodes were non combat

[sly harness]

Just don't leak

That simple

[desert brook]

oh

[desert brook]

bro theres no way

it disappeared from is2 and appeared on is4

[severe oasis]

i think u have something new

[desert brook]

always something new in integrated strategies

[gaunt bay]

NEW

damn I love when game tosses me free 5* Touch

while exu2 is drafted

also, fuck spiked chests with pram2

[desert brook]

does she take damage when her ice hits it

[rich thorn]

yep

[desert brook]

lmao

[rich thorn]

game just loves me, tossing EM restricted zone from encounter while im not ready for it

🥹

[sly harness]

Just don't use Prama S2

Fake skill anyway

Like the post that was selling Freez comp as IS3 draft marked it as not used at all

[rich thorn]

still fine for things like this

when wis or exu2 could suddenly break boxes

[long tundra]

(Did you place her directly on top of it?)

[sly harness]

Just place her on the bottom tile and have a different solution to inviable guys in the top lane

Also won't snow from S2 break the boxes?

[rich thorn]

it will, but at that moment it will be last wave

and yeh, diff solution when only 2-3 ops drafted

6*

pls, map is not hard

[gusty siren]

Can the actual sadist who designed the sui’s remnant consciousness combat levels never be allowed to touch this game ever again

[rich thorn]

but I like what inv enemies blocked with blue box

[rich thorn]

that man is normal

[sly harness]

But they aren't but

[rich thorn]

but the man what cooked beyong mount and sea....

or heretics

or elusive merc

or regular army

[sly harness]

They want you to draft 6*.... But idk whether IS should be friendly for low stars niches

[rich thorn]

I have a feeling what they was made by same dev

[sly harness]

Love this guy

A like hard stage

[gusty siren]

The amount of cbt this level designer has given me has destroyed what little sanity I have left

[sly harness]

Although I prefer the Beyond Mount and Sea hard

More gimmicky

[rich thorn]

nah, man is bad

his f6 is literally

IM GONNA TOSS FUCKING SPEARHEADS HERE

im still surprised what they not tossing that one enemy

what counters phys and wants arts for hitcount

so people are like - yep, fucked cuz no arts in team

[azure dagger]

Yeah, but deploying her correctly didn't change much, he does to much damage she can't outheal it (at least in E1)

[sly harness]

Tbh not sure. The IS5 stages are much more stats checky then Beyond Mount and Sea, especially stuff like Elusive and Army with significantly buffed vase stats on bosses

[open girder]

8 full runs...no progress

[gusty siren]

Beyond sadist idk what the fuck that guy was cooking

[rich thorn]

just wait

d18

and t3 egg

[sly harness]

Still

Hit count will have the same numbers

[long tundra]

Hmm, might have been my relics then because I think I managed when placing her properly.
(Though I always prefer using Swire S1 instead.)

[rich thorn]

but spears with red dogs will be buffed

same with cars

army at least solveable fine with tragodia

elusive merc tho...

[gusty siren]

Also should I keep trying to brute force IS6 ending 4 with infinite kettle cheese or try legit

[sly harness]

[rich thorn]

just flower or tianshi

[gusty siren]

I almost full cheesed this run but I got utterly shafted by rng and ran out of ingots

[sly harness]

ed4 is easy with average scaling

[desert brook]

the furniture doesnt have any hp scaling right? its always a fixed number of hits needed

[rich thorn]

yep

[gusty siren]

Ye maybe I should be cheesing ed3 and not ed4

[sly harness]

It scales with EM stats modifiers, coins, - HP collectibles, and the 30% House of Sui

[rich thorn]

but mobs what carry em scaled

[desert brook]

interesting

so not floor buffs

[gusty siren]

W h y

[sly harness]

Not floor buffs

To get it affected by -45% Risk

[desert brook]

thats probably why theyre relatively easy to kill all the time

[rich thorn]

because

[gusty siren]

Wait good point

[flint token]

Imagine spearhead with 3x hp bro

[rich thorn]

100 hp spears?

[gusty siren]

All of my is6 runs going down the drain after I didn’t start with Hoshi alter, Enchilada, or Exu alter:

[desert brook]

bloodshed is so goated

[sly harness]

Wis S2 + some ASPD would still delete them

[gusty siren]

Thanks wis

[sly harness]

Is so ridiculous

On max diff you can lower the HP of late floor enemies to the base stats

[rich thorn]

yep, healthy tongbao

thats why people should play tourists squad

[sly harness]

And it was a dlc0 thing

[gusty siren]

Maybe I should run tourist squad and try to get Cocoon Worth with that

[desert brook]

yeah, makes me feel like im playing the game instead of integrated stategies 6: sui's garden of hp buffs

[sly harness]

Strong coin on strong squad

Then you can also get the "if 3 risk coins tossed get 3 max HP and 3 Shields turtle" and most important Wu-Shang Shuttle and break the game if you farm enough coupons (mostly with Megamus)

[open girder]

10 runs and nothing. And based on the wiki, 2 of those are not even super rare

[open girder]

Hell yeah!! Only 3 left now

[gaunt bay]

Mreow

:3

[remote badger]

mreow

[raw jewel]

fucking sui broke my head with his (or her) stomps

[remote badger]

feeted

🦶

[nocturne cape]

feeted encounter

[desert brook]

lamp of feet

[raw jewel]

what

oh

i thought this was #arknights

nvm

[alpine solar]

in is6

when you get your first sniper voucher

who do you draft first

for me i always go wis then archetto but maybe thats super scrubby?

[karmic iron]

normal IS5 d18 done just need to keep farming for the LMDs and mats

i dunno if i can reach 500 in investing mr cannot shop until finishing the reward track

[lethal valve]

for some reason raising IS6 shop is easier

did they change the rates?

oh shit im on the wrong channel

[alpine solar]

nah, it was easier when we had the seed event

[remote badger]

no

[alpine solar]

you could run seeds that let you invest like 50+ ingots on the f1 shop

or whatever the number was i forget

[open girder]

[kind ruin]

try using macro

[karmic iron]

[alpine solar]

at the risk of your acc?

[kind ruin]

which relic is the best to get in this event?

[kind ruin]

macroing is banned?

like simple tinytask setup

[remote badger]

no mentioning

[kind ruin]

oh sorry

[remote badger]

second option

[raw jewel]

yin-shih or whatever its name is

i always pick it and idk what the others do

[kind ruin]

i had 4 risk coins and still failed

[raw jewel]

are there any penalties if i don't get sui to below 50% upon retrieving the relic needed to go to ending 2

[lethal valve]

you can't go to ending 2

iirc

[errant siren]

Actually yes. Whatever makes play instead of you is very banable case.

[raw jewel]

bruh

[desert brook]

arknights players when theyre forced to play arknights

[karmic iron]

just keep farming

i’ll try to clear d14 after next expansion for reward track ig

hmm but yeah, it is easier to invest a lot to mr cannot in IS6

than other IS

[low vortex]

dont delete the ping

[alpine solar]

oh

sz

[low vortex]

that just makes you look bad

[alpine solar]

thought the message would look weird without the context

since you deleted it already

[low vortex]

happens often enough

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-jessica-alter-jessica-jessica-the-liberated-gif-7339875112392227538

[raw jewel]

what is the value of coin geist

oh nvm

[errant siren]

Shit

[raw jewel]

right

i picked it

[errant siren]

Gamba the perfect DP Cost then.

[arctic panther]

[raw jewel]

too late

i have to rematch sui

which skill would be the best for pramalt

as i have to deal with the spearheads

[flint token]

Can you leak everything on left side

pramalt wont be enough alone

[raw jewel]

i got backup

(raidian)

and it's enough with s1 surprisingly

[cloud cliff]

what ending is out of nothingness?

[errant siren]

Bull (End4)

[crystal niche]

bull

[errant siren]

Or goat

[crystal niche]

I think this is the first time I've seen someone say it's a bull

most say cow

[errant siren]

Whatever the thing is

[crystal niche]

[errant siren]

Fucking animal anyway

[crystal niche]

bengal fucking animals?

[errant siren]

WTF was cutted out the context

[crystal niche]

wtfart

[foggy oriole]

what's usually the medic draft in is6

do you actually need a 6 star

or can I get away with suss perfumer or some shit

[flint token]

You either run 4* or haruka

[earnest shuttle]

purestream, sussuro
dlc2 may use titi or mon3tr for ed5

and yeah haruka

titi is kinda niche tho

[flint token]

but she’s real cute so it’s fine

[foggy oriole]

mon3tr is my usual draft but I want some fallback on hope poor runs

or coupon poor runs

for that matter

[flint token]

Just run sus/purestream then

[foggy oriole]

haruka wouldn't solve the hope issue but would be really good for voucher poor runs

(sry not coupon)

[open girder]

I tried a "max 5* run" on d12 and I changed my mind over End3, it's actually really really fun when you start limiting some options

I now officially love with a passion all 4 bosses of IS2

[buoyant beacon]

They weren't bullshit yet imo, just fun gimmic- oops nvm the lock is right there

[open girder]

The only little weird thing that I don't like much about IS2 is when you prepare the setup for end3 but end not finding the last encounter.
If they changed this to mandatory thn the whole thing would be perfect

[buoyant beacon]

I remember not finding end4 for like 20+ run lmfao

Or if I find it I lose the first encounter condition battle

[open finch]

Average is2 experience

[buoyant beacon]

Skill issue I know, but damn it's much harder than the rest

And idk but it love to show up early, like F2 first fight or smth

[foggy oriole]

wait wtf if you're invis in face off

the talisman ignores you, enter blue box and you lose

most fair sui hour bro

wtf is this shit

[paper notch]

[remote badger]

hii kermini

[karmic iron]

news to me

[cursive verge]

its a bug

[open girder]

Everything else already done
500 investment, max reward level, 4 endings on d15, all 3/3 communications, monthly, deep, etc
Only those 3 little collectibles left (and is taking me dozens of runs)

[open finch]

Hihi how's it going

[remote badger]

half winning half losing

im at the state of Schrodinger's cat

[open finch]

[foggy oriole]

I don't get why that bug exists when turmoil nodes work correctly in this regard

ngl

[cursive verge]

ask yostar

or hg

[foggy oriole]

but I guess they tried to handle the gopnik/duck face off

by making sure if you leak even 0hp enemies it fails

but talismans also do that

[cursive verge]

purestream very, sussuro if you are going for pathfinder fights, rose salt for playing ed2 with exu2 ban (tbf goof even with her), and thats kinda it

haruka isnt bad but purestream is enoug by herself so kinda redundant

titi can be used as wang's bodyguard

lukas dalao likes perfumer but its cuz he uses ente AND iirc it was a case of sth better than nothing rather than perf herself being good

[crystal niche]

Sussuro

S2?

[cursive verge]

yea for pf fight

[crystal niche]

Is there enough time for skill?

[cursive verge]

yes

[crystal niche]

Might change my strat then

I usually use purestream s1

[cursive verge]

surely you arent trying ti candle sth like yato1

[crystal niche]

[cursive verge]

[crystal niche]

No

Exu2

[gaunt bay]

omg kermimi

[cursive verge]

btw lukas finds suss optional tho idk how you manage pf fight with just purestream, sounds like praying to rng for good pf map imo

[crystal niche]

Uh

With

Roberta

[cursive verge]

I mean sure if you get 3rd ssupp vouicher

[crystal niche]

No my start is exu2 Roberta and sneg

Or beanstalk

[cursive verge]

raidian less

[foggy oriole]

is d15 even 100% consistent to beat

[arctic panther]

depends on the is

[foggy oriole]

I just had a run where I literally cannot scale atk

I was tanking ufos no problem because I got a billion hp

but I literally could not do the f6 bosky because I got no damage

went in with 32hp and 10+ candles

[gaunt bay]

ed1 maybe

[foggy oriole]

came out with 1 hp due to not having dps to kill statues and only managed to send like 5 ops

dogshit seed

and then boss ate a random ass lane enemy

run over

[desert brook]

yeah is6 d15 ed1 is quite consistent in my experience

dont really need much scaling to beat it, just a supp voucher for raidian

[faint rampart]

ed4 🫡 should be consistent too

[charred lake]

should i kaltsit start or weedy start for is3

i heard kal can stall one lane in izumik

with a dps

[earnest shuttle]

if u must pick one of the two then kaltsit
but u could borrow exu2

[charred lake]

im doin this w/o the big 3

i have the 3

ia this some foem of masochism or insanity?

[earnest shuttle]

suit urself then, weedy mostly a late pick

[dry tusk]

is this worth it?

[desert brook]

yeah

[earnest shuttle]

yes

[charred lake]

yes

throw a medic

to heal the op to candle

[desert brook]

it's really good if you have bells and even if you don't, its a high tier trade in plan node

[dry tusk]

how fast it thunders tho

[charred lake]

i dont got weedy

[desert brook]

prolly says on some wiki, i don't remember the thunder being too fast but i think its faster than pathfinder

[faint rampart]

yep
trade it for better coin once you're done using it

[open girder]

2 more runs before my daily meeting. I can feel the collectibles coming home

[crystal niche]

I can feel your dread

to open up is

[sick mason]

Even better if you have bells of agreement

[earnest shuttle]

1 star vgs eating good

[faint rampart]

wtfart

[night mauve]

nom nom nom

[cursive verge]

Did you take a pic of yoir phone screen with a phone

[night mauve]

Yes.

[crystal niche]

@paper notch this ur welfare?

[cursive verge]

Thats his cat as a playable character

[crystal niche]

[chrome tangle]

but like why are the palicoes reduced to 1*s

they can literally mog a Rathalos

[cursive verge]

Ngl I am hoping orchid2 to turn out mid

[chrome tangle]

I hope she's broken as shit

[cursive verge]

So thar I can direct my funds to trag rerun

[cunning karma]

just skip trag

or swipe $30 instead

very easy

[cursive verge]

I am selling you for 30$

[crystal niche]

I'm sellin ur acc for 1000$

then we split 95-5

[cursive verge]

Omw to meet you

[crystal niche]

[sly harness]

I heard it will be a guard

Now this thing needs to compete with Confess 🥀

[slim helm]

So for a third squad on ed2 is6 raidian clears, should i pick whatever and roll with it? Assuming i did special and leader squads

[sly harness]

You can pick a supporter/defender class squad

It is similar in power to special (or even stronger if you have hoshi2)

[slim helm]

Right, hoshi2 not ready yet but soon ™

I assume s3 for hoshi2? Or whats the go to

[errant siren]

Yes. S2 is for AFK, but optional to build.

[ripe summit]

That one guy that said Is4 was mid. I think I can see his point

[normal axle]

Finally managed to beat the mini boss or whatever it's called for the first time...

Stressing...

[ripe summit]

which mini boss?

[sly harness]

Fisherman

You can see the name of the stage on the left

[normal axle]

Yes I guess...

Though it's the harder one of the two I've seen

[ripe summit]

that guy is a miniboss?

[normal axle]

Idk

[sly harness]

IS6 floor3 boss

[normal axle]

Looks like one for me

Since I heard there's a final one

[ripe summit]

The one that move ops to him right???

[normal axle]

Yes

[ripe summit]

you're playing at difficulty??

[normal axle]

Uhh...1...

I just started 😭

[ripe summit]

Good news. It will get harder soon

[sly harness]

Nah much easier with e2 Raidian

[ripe summit]

He just started. He ain't got e2 raidian yet'

[sly harness]

But soon will have

[normal axle]

My best operator rn is Kal'tsit E1 lv69..

Trying to E2 her..

[ripe summit]

Def get E2 for improvements

[normal axle]

Everything costs so much LMD....wanna lvl up ops? LMD. Want this material? LMD , wanna E2? 180k LMD...

[ripe summit]

Just progress as you are. LMD will come slowly but surely

how is it??? having fun???

[normal axle]

Love the gameplay of course

Finally got a decent phone

[ripe summit]

You have the same reason as me. Been benching AK because my phone couldn't do it.

[normal axle]

Yep. Best I've gotten on my old one is like chapter 1 ending

[vagrant tiger]

Have you leveled your base ops?

[normal axle]

Some yeah

Kroo

And some others

[vagrant tiger]

Ok good, just wanted to make sure you did and didn’t just rush Kal E2

[normal axle]

Can I win?

[upper anchor]

Just spam IS, you get quite a bit of LMD and exp from it

[normal axle]

I need life points badly

[vagrant tiger]

Im sorry you leveled Gitano

[normal axle]

..... she's fun

[vagrant tiger]

Fair

God I wish Any splash caster was good

[normal axle]

Star war laser shooting sounds

[upper anchor]

You could have had a much easier time if you borrowed Tragodia

[vagrant tiger]

I mean, floor 5 without borrows is pretty impressive!

[upper anchor]

It's f5? I'd imagine f3 would be hard with this squad

[cursive verge]

Skipping combats is a thing

[vagrant tiger]

Yep yep

[upper anchor]

Isn't skipping combat kinda bad?

[cursive verge]

Command lvl 4 after beating f3 boss^ yep skipping combats

[upper anchor]

No exp -> no hope

(literally)

[vagrant tiger]

Also should probably actually answer this question now.
You don’t have anyone who could stall ED1’s boss so you’re probably dead as hell

[cursive verge]

I mean with that roster irs skip or die

[sly harness]

So, if you want to have an easier time borrow some very strong 6* at the beginning of the run

[normal axle]

I lost in my first normal battle lmao

Map unfamiliarity is also a hell

[upper anchor]

They can win if they have some 80 LPs

[normal axle]

Huh?

[vagrant tiger]

Ah, yeah makes sense, anyways go borrow Tragodia and wonder where the difficulty went

[upper anchor]

When you start the game you can recruit a support. Tragodia makes the first few floors ez - he's a support

[normal axle]

I didn't even know I could do that

[upper anchor]

And try to do as much combats as possible. More combat -> more exp -> more hope -> more ops and higher levels

[normal axle]

Is this one fine?

[brazen bane]

Lv 1?? 💀

[vagrant tiger]

Wait you have e1 80 Raidian? Why did you not use her in that previous run.

[upper anchor]

Would be better to be able to max lvl him after promotion but you really only need his s2

[normal axle]

I haven't tried her yet.

[normal axle]

That one ain't mine

[vagrant tiger]

She’s Literally Made For This IS.

[timid fox]

not the level tho

[vagrant tiger]

It’s damn near designed around her

[normal axle]

Found one

[timid fox]

it better

[normal axle]

I will try in next run. I tried using her in normal stages but she feels a bit weird

[vagrant tiger]

She’s not great outside IS

[upper anchor]

Yea, that one is good. Run with s2 and troll half of the run

[normal axle]

Thanks

[remote badger]

also have a fast redeploy

[upper anchor]

Another possible borrow is Wisadel but she won't be able to solve the f5 boss on her own

Also check the guide for low rarity clear of the f5 boss

[normal axle]

...damn.... suicide bomber cat

[upper anchor]

The cat also lures enemies towards it

[ripe summit]

S2 is for crowd control. S3 is the more frontal approach

[faint rampart]

run so poverty
no lp for plan nodes and no good coins either🏳️

[upper anchor]

"Marks all friendly units on the map that will explode after a delay, dealing 80% ATK Arts damage to the targets and friendlies in the adjacent 4 tiles."
Does this target Wisadel's revenants? IS2

[sly harness]

yes

[upper anchor]

I guess that explains why she imploaded...

[sly harness]

it also ignores Camouflage so yes

[kind ruin]

what type of dmg does the lightning do?

[cunning karma]

Can be any, check the stage description

[brazen bane]

can also be just dmg amp

and increased taunt

[sly harness]

Randomly chosen from this pool, you can read which one you got before entering the stage

[open girder]

6 full runs, no collectibles

[crystal niche]

my predictions weren't wrong

[paper notch]

yes. yes it is

[crystal niche]

is he accepted into the family

[paper notch]

potentially
shit still looks ugly as hell

[normal axle]

How do I kill this golem?

It's been a stalemate for 3 minutes

I will let it go I guess..

[charred lake]

move him away from the gramaphone

[normal axle]

It works now

I should read more

[sly harness]

just take the gramophone

make it blue

by placying your units next to it

it will deal % max HP damage to thr enemies

red gramophone heals enemies

[sick mason]

Use Trag cat

[ripe summit]

Did you do it?

[buoyant beacon]

Bruh

I wanna tell that dude to go play Twilight of Wolumonde it's very fun

But nah new ops stomp so

[paper notch]

there's still the 2 or so stages with tribulation mode

[normal axle]

Yep

Though

I feels like I'm doing worse after borrowing op

Tragodia is indeed op

But my luck seems worse somehow

[remote badger]

indeed skill issue

[normal axle]

True in a sense

[kind ruin]

do i need to deliver the last blow with raidian or deal 100% of his hp with her?

[remote badger]

see kill statement

it means that

your first statement

[kind ruin]

ok

[crystal niche]

let her kill steal

[paper notch]

i mean in a half decent run, raidian s2 alr dpsses yi down quite well

[crystal niche]

just flower loop

[kind ruin]

which squad is the best for e4 d15 is6?

[sudden canyon]

Is it me or IS 6 is significantly more newbie friendly

Other is is really hard I dont know why

[kind ruin]

is6 has broken relics

[sly harness]

Wouldn't say so, IS5 is much easier and more friendly for new accounts

[sudden canyon]

What does Nymph do in IS 5?

[sly harness]

Isn't really used

But can stall bosses

[faint rampart]

~~flower cuz you can loop or something ~~
whatever eco squads
class works too

[sudden canyon]

Idk if its only me but IS 6 definately more easier to progress

[sly harness]

I can't write

[faint rampart]

get some rest gramps

[sly harness]

It isn't hard and Raidian carries you once you max her and learn to use her

[sly harness]

But in IS5 you can avoid combats almost completely, Lamp spam to get broken relics and effortlessly win

[crystal niche]

so did u get them

the relics

[open girder]

No...I'm prob fighting against some <1% odds per run

Well, at least I'm doing some fun challenges to pass the time like max 5* d12, all endings on d15, etc

[crystal niche]

hmmm

what do i do

with 40 coupons on f5

[sly harness]

Get cocoon and Wu Shang

[faint rampart]

toss your cocoon

[crystal niche]

me don't have cocoon

[sly harness]

Also I got summoned to #help ... Definitely an experience

[faint rampart]

plan for your next run

[faint rampart]

holy wtfart

[crystal niche]

yes, me summoned is3 dalao

[faint rampart]

was it something like
@/lukas dalao known good IS player he can give you advice on what you should raise on this lvl34 acc

[sly harness]

Nah IS3 encounters stuff

[open girder]

1 more run until the next work meeting
I can feel the collectibles coming home this time

[faint rampart]

potential is3 player
